Quad-core HTC Tablet Coming in Early 2012

By

HTC released the HTC Flyer as its single-core flagship tablet and the HTC Jetstream as its dual-core flagship.  What about its quad-core flagship?  A yet-unnamed HTC tablet bearing a quad-core processor is reportedly in the pipeline and scheduled for release at the Media World Congress (MWC) 2012 next year.
Taiwanese news site Commercial Times reports that HTC is planning to release a quad-core tablet, alongside two new Android smartphones, before Microsoft releases its Windows 8 operating system by 3Q 2012.
The HTC tablet will reportedly carry an NVIDIA chipset, presumably Tegra 3, which is NVIDIA’s quad-core processor.  Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich can also be expected onboard.
Along with two other Android-powered smartphones (codenamed Ville and Edge), this quad-core tablet will be made public at the MWC 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.  Rumors say that the HTC Edge will use a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset, while the Ville will come with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset.
The new tablet’s quad-core processor will put the focus on premium graphic performance, making it a multimedia center. It is at the same time made for low-power consumption at high performance.
HTC might also produce Window 8 powered devices, as the two companies have had a history together.
Critics observe that HTC is under a lot of pressure from competitors like ASUS, which has scheduled the release of its quad-core ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime into the market.
The days of quad-core smartphones and tablets are nearing.  If you could choose, which manufacturer would you want to make your next quad-core phone/tablet and what features would you like to see on the device?

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
